Music Video Script

The Video column is for descriptions of visuals and should include camera directions, transition descriptions and anything else visually important. You can also insert graphics to better illustrate or storyboard the script.

The Audio column is for narration, and music and audio f/x descriptions and direction. The narration should be clearly distinguished from the audio notes (usually the narration in each scene begins with NARR: and the other audio notes are in parentheses or italics, or a different color). The point is to make the narration easy enough to spot that the narration can be read without requiring the reader to search through confusing text. The Audio column is also set to 1.5 spacing – this leaves room for notes.
